Abstract "Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian combat game practiced today throughout the world. Staging Brazil is the first in-depth study of the process of legitimization of capoeira and its globalization as Brazil's national folklore. Using early illustrated capoeira manuals, the book contextualizes the two main styles of capoeira, angola and regional, within discourses of race and nation in mid-twentieth century Brazil and reveals the mutual influences between capoeira practitioners, tourism bureaucrats, intellectuals, artists, and directors of folkloric ensembles."--Back cover
